Thanks to government a quarter century ago wisely deciding to leave the Internet largely alone – the Internet has become a free speech-free market Xanadu. Nothing in the history of humanity has grown bigger, better, stronger, faster. It went in two decades from “What’s that?” – to 1/6th of our entire economy.

To the Left, the great idea to have government leave the Internet alone – was the Original Sin. And they’ve been trying ever since to bury government’s hooks into the Internet – so that they can then reel it in.

The Internet is now a REALLY big fish – so it requires a cadre of REALLY big Leftist lies.

And they lie about the companies who connect us to the Internet. These are the Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The companies that have invested more than $1 trillion devising and designing, building and improving our connections to the Web.

We have gone from 28K dial-up – to more than 1GB mainline speed. And ever-climbing. These ever-improving improvements are almost inconceivably amazing.

But ISPs have done all this Internet-improving – despite government, not because of government. Rendering Leftists’ government-Internet-championing – stupider by the day.

So the Left came up with a HUGE lie to counteract Reality. Behold: Net Neutrality.

“At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies. We are not at that point yet. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control.”

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

America’s ridiculously Leftist media dutifully does its Goebbels-part – to shield us from the truth.

The Barack Obama Administration in 2015 unilaterally imposed Net Neutrality. And a year ago last week – the Donald Trump Administration rolled back the Net Neutrality grab.

We could cite examples of Leftists lying…until the crack of Doom. But you by now get the point.

What the Trump Administration actually did – was restore the exact same government-regulatory scenario – that existed for the Internet’s first quarter century. During which the Internet – became a free speech-free market Xanadu.

We’re a year removed from the Trump Net Neutrality rollback, and…NONE of the Left’s lies have come true. Mostly because they are all Leftist lies.

It reminds of former conservative President Calvin Coolidge (1923-1928). Who thought the country did best – when government left it alone. He said “The chief business of America – is business.”

Coolidge was so hands-off – he as President every afternoon changed into pajamas and took a nap. Which riled, shocked and angered the media (noticing a pattern here?). The media was incredibly worried about how the country could possibly function with a daily-slumbering Chief Executive.

After one nap, an aide awakened Coolidge – who smiled up at him and asked “Is the country still here?”

The country was still there. It still is. A year after the Trump Net Neutrality rollback – the Internet is still here. In fact – it’s demonstrably better.
